I've enjoyed his work on Vision and Mr. Miracle, both of which, interestingly, dealt with some of the concepts he describes in his pitch for "Heroes in Crisis" (that the very violent, very dangerous life of a superhuman can really warp a person's psyche and make it harder to deal with the mundane, day to day shit they deal with when not on the job).

REALLY hit or miss. Grayson was good. Mr. Miracle is a really well-written book that I love. Vision was a really well-written book that I hated. And he’s currently writing the single worst run of Batman I’ve read in 39 years of collecting.

At the end of the series it will be revealed that their psychiatrist was Doc Samson the whole time.

And also, since this is a murder mystery, I wonder whose girlfriend is getting fridged for this to work. Superman looks the saddest in the picture, hopefully this won't be building off Bendis killing off Lois.

I figured the victim is the person whose mask Superman is holding, which looks a lot like Anarky's.

I thought the same thing, but he usually wears red (DC's second-favorite color, black being the first, and red-and-black color scheme" being third), and it it looks like a white drapery hanging off the back of it. And I can't imagine why anyone would be this upset about his death, since he always leaned closer to villainy than heroism. But maybe it's more the mystery and the difficulty of solving it. I dunno.

A mental health facility for super-heroes...that's actually interesting. I have no faith that DC will be able to pull it off, whether because of the usual mandated idiocy that they so routinely enjoy, or some other factor. I've only read one thing by Tom King, so I can't say he's great or terrible. Omega Men has some elements I felt were unnecessary, but I didn't think it was bad by any measure.

And if this is about mental health, Harley's involvement may have to do with her being a psychiatrist. Yeah, she's loony herself, but how loony could work in King's favor. If she's "just as crazy as the Joker" (which comes with it's own set of problems separate from this premise), then, yeah, maybe she's only there for T&A and fan interest. But if she's more akin to previous incarnations and has some humanity left, then it'd make sense for someone in her field to be involved. But I don't follow the character, and it feels like ever since the New52, DC has just changed her to whatever they think will grab people's attention at the drop of the hat. So where Quinn's concerned, I basically just stopped caring (because that's what storytellers should do...make you not care about the characters. And in DC's case, also make you lower your standards).

Girlfriend? Are we not that progressive of a society that we can't start shoving men into fridges yet?

Actually looks like the Medusa Mask to me, but then I also have no idea why they'd give a fuck if Psycho-Pirate got whacked either.
